Aston Villa show more interest than Tottenham in Ibrahim Mbaye

Senegalese youngster Ibrahim Mbaye is keen to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer in search of more game time.

Mbaye made just 11 starts across all competitions last season, with Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue preferred ahead of him.

Maghnes Akliouche’s potential arrival from Monaco could further reduce his game time.

Aston Villa and Tottenham have been linked with the 18-year-old, but the former are showing stronger interest, according to Journalist Santi Aouna.

However, Villa have yet to make a formal approach for the PSG youngster.

Tottenham could be prioritising a move for Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi over Mbaye. They are reportedly preparing a £85 million bid for the French striker.

Mbaye could be a good addition for Villa

Villa are looking to strengthen their attack to cope with the demands of European and domestic competition next season.

Although naturally a right winger, Mbaye can be deployed on the left flank and as an attacking midfielder.

The Senegal international possesses explosive pace, exceptional dribbling and off-the-ball movement. He could be a good signing for Villa.

Mbaye needs to be more consistent with his decision-making in the final third and improve his physicality. Those improvements should come with experience.

While Villa are exploring multiple targets to bolster their attack, they are unwilling to weaken their squad by selling Morgan Rogers.

The England international has been strongly linked with Arsenal, but the Villans insist he is not for sale.
